RIGHT NOW: Zohran Mamdani stands on the Israeli side of an October 7 vigil while Palestinian organizers and supporters of Palestinian liberation directly protest him. Another politician at the vigil is Brad Lander, who increased NYC pension holdings in Elbit Systems, Israel’s largest weapons manufacturer, as their weapons were used to annihilate Palestinians at the height of the Gaza genocide. Meanwhile, students across NYC are walking out of classrooms demanding an end to the city’s complicity in Israel’s genocide of Palestinians. Mamdani campaigned on solidarity with Palestine. Now the movement is confronting him over the gap between that solidarity and his political decisions. This is not a hypothetical contradiction or a disagreement over rhetoric. It is a confrontation over where political power is being exercised, whose demands are being accommodated, and whose are being dismissed. Solidarity is measured by what you do with power, not what you say to obtain it. Video via Within Our Lifetime CUNY4Palestine

“TRAITOR! TRAITOR! TRAITOR!” Hundreds of protesters chant at Zohran Mamdani as he attends an Israelis for peace (a normalizing project) October 7 vigil. The chants come amid mounting criticism from Palestinian organizers and supporters of Palestinian liberation over what they see as Mamdani’s retreat from his campaign commitments on Palestine, his political engagement with Zionist organizations, and the continued investment of NYC pension funds in companies tied to Israel’s military industry. For protesters, the confrontation reflects a growing divide between Mamdani’s campaign rhetoric on Palestine and the actions they expect from his administration. Video via Within Our Lifetime CUNY4Palestine Protest mainly organized by various SJP chapters across the city CCNYSJP NYU Students for Justice in Palestine and many others. Attended by YDSA chapter including campus YDSA chapters.

Palestinian protesters in Brooklyn are being attacked by racist Zionist Lubavitchers while NYPD and Shomrim stand by and do nothing. Protesters are bleeding, chased, blocked from leaving 770 Eastern Parkway—eggs thrown, people beaten in plain view. This is a pogrom.

Palestinian protesters in Brooklyn are mobilizing RIGHT NOW to demand baby-killer Itamar Ben Gvir get the hell out of NYC. He’s being hosted at 770 Eastern Parkway by the racist Zionist Lubavitch sect—yes, the same place where tunnels were uncovered.

“DISCLOSE, DIVEST! WE WILL NOT STOP! WE WILL NOT REST!” Students chant directly at Zohran Mamdani as he attends an October 7 vigil. Their demand is about more than statements of solidarity with Palestine. NYC’s public pension funds hold investments in companies tied to Israel’s military industry, including Elbit Systems, Israel’s largest weapons manufacturer. Students are demanding transparency about where public money is invested, divestment from companies implicated in Israel’s occupation and military operations, and concrete action from City Hall. The chant is directed at Mamdani because these are demands on the city government he now leads, not simply on his personal views about Palestine which amount to nothing if they don’t translate to action.

Wow. A student organizer leading protests against Zohran Mamdani tonight reveals that she previously interned for him. Now she’s leading chants against the very politician she once worked for, accusing him of prioritizing his own political advancement over the people and movements that helped bring him to power. She delivers an ultimatum: The protests can stop when Mamdani stops the sale of stolen Palestinian land in NYC and abolishes the CUNY Board of Trustees, which advances Israel’s interests within the nation’s largest urban public university system. But she makes clear that she doesn’t expect him to deliver. In her view, Mamdani has become just another politician who makes promises to movements and then fails to meet their demands once in office. What makes her testimony particularly significant is that she isn’t someone who opposed Mamdani from the beginning. She worked for him. She believed enough in his political project to participate in it. Now she’s publicly confronting him. Her speech speaks to a broader frustration among people who placed their hopes in electoral politics as a vehicle for advancing Palestinian liberation. For some, the experience hasn’t strengthened their faith in political institutions. It has deepened their distrust.

“MAYOR MAMDANI, TAKE A STAND! STOP THE SALE OF STOLEN LAND!” Protesters confront Zohran Mamdani at an Israeli October 7th event, over the sale of Palestinian land through Israeli real estate events held right here in NYC. Mamdani once introduced the Not On Our Dime Act to stop New York nonprofits from financing illegal Israeli settlements. Yet since becoming mayor, he has not publicly advanced a comparable initiative. When protesters confronted these land sales, he condemned their rhetoric rather than announcing concrete enforcement measures against the sales themselves. In January, I outlined four existing legal avenues his administration could pursue, from consumer protection enforcement to investigations of potentially unlawful real estate marketing. None requires waiting for the state legislature. Video via Within Our Lifetime

I ran into U.S. Ambassador to the UN Dorothy Shea at a restaurant tonight. I approached her as a mother of a newborn, thinking about the thousands of babies in Gaza starving to death because of the siege the U.S. helps enforce.

“FROM NEW YORK TO GAZA, GLOBALIZE THE INTIFADA!” Zohran Mamdani stands silently as protesters chant the very slogan he once defended against attempts to equate it with antisemitism. During his mayoral campaign, Mamdani initially contextualized the Arabic word intifada, pointing out that even the US Holocaust Memorial Museum had used it in Arabic to describe the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising against the Nazis. I gave him credit for challenging the idea that Palestinian resistance could be reduced to the most violent interpretation of a single word. But after sustained backlash, Mamdani reversed course, publicly pledging to discourage the slogan’s use. He explained that decision by citing Jewish New Yorkers who understood it as invoking violence against Jews. Tonight’s chant brings that campaign controversy back into the open. For protesters who understand intifada as uprising against oppression, the dispute was never simply about vocabulary. It was about whose understanding of Palestinian resistance would be recognized in New York’s political discourse. Video via Within Our Lifetime

For all your false accusations of antisemitism against anti-genocide protesters, where is the condemnation of the actual attacks against Jewish people like these brave anti-zionists who were spat on, pushed, and had their mobile device smashed by pro genocide Jewish Zionists?

Via: Within Our Lifetime “BRAD LANDER, YOU CAN’T HIDE! ELBIT PROFITS FROM GENOCIDE!” Protesters are chanting at Brad Lander, who is attending tonight’s October 7 vigil alongside Zohran Mamdani. A year ago today, I called out their attendance at this same vigil. People told me it was just electoral politics, something Mamdani had to do to win. He’s mayor now. That explanation deserves scrutiny. During Lander’s tenure as NYC comptroller, city pension holdings in Elbit Systems, Israel’s largest weapons manufacturer, increased during the genocide in Gaza. Meanwhile, in Britain, Palestine Action activists have faced terrorism-related charges, imprisonment and hunger strikes over their campaign targeting Elbit. Yet in NYC, Lander continues to receive warm receptions in progressive political and media circles, including from people who publicly condemn Israel’s genocide of Gaza. Mamdani campaigned alongside him, and the Elbit investments received nowhere near the scrutiny they warranted. How can the same political circles condemn the weapons industry, embrace politicians responsible for overseeing investments in it, and treat the people challenging those investments as the problem? This is not a minor disagreement about messaging. It is about public money, political accountability and the enormous distance between professed solidarity with Palestinians and the exercise of political power.
